First attempt at tri tip. It was a bit over done for my preference, yet still under cooked for my wife’s preference but she was happy with the end pieces. Will plan to pull it a bit sooner next time but curious what everyone likes to season theirs with? I went with a generic brand Santa Maria seasoning but would like to try a different seasoning next time.

Great piece of meat there! I usually go Santa Maria. However I alternate between a simple homemade Santa Maria (black pepper, salt, garlic), Rosemary Salt and Black Pepper, and more recently Hardcore Carnivore Black!
That tri tip looks beautiful. The marbling is stunning
How you cook it ? I do lots tri tip from California and born and raise. Seasoning on tri tip keep it simple. Kosher Salt, fresh course ground black pepper, garlic powder , paprika. That my basic seasoning. Rosemary’s and oregano are optional add on.
For me Santa Maria style pit using red oak.
Holy shit the marveling
I cut mine into steaks and grilled yesterday. Tonight I took the left overs, shaved them thin, and made cheese steaks with peppers and onion. As long as you don’t over cook it, it’s a pretty versatile cut.
Over thought it.
I’m doing a tritip brisket style tomorrow. Dry brine and pepper rub. 250 to 165ish, wrap in tallow to 200ish. Can’t wait. Such a crazy versatile cut
You must try it with chimmichurri next time. My absolute favorite meal 🙂
